New Grower Shouldn’t they be bigger?

Lol @Mcdee I thought the same thing , then realised it's two people jumped on the same thread. One I think needs a reflector on the CFL and the LED looks like small strip lights not an led grow light. You need around 200 actual LED watts for 4 or 5 plants minimum.

Oh, I didn't realize 2 different grows. My bad lol.

hey buddy check what the “acutal wattage” or “draw wattage” is on the led. should be on a wee sticker on the back of it. if not its in the “specs” bit on the site you bought it from. some of them are just completely useless. know a lot of folk that have been caught out with them. the guys are right though, dont compare yourself to other peoples grows unless youve got the exact same set up and know what they know. its a pretty steep learning curve but you’ll get there. its a lot of trial and error on the first couple runs. if you want big plants though you need a LOT of light. i use 540w worth of blurples per plant and they nearly fill a square metre by week 6.
